Just another noisy sensor with too small of photosites....ala 50D
I think if people bother to read DXOMark\'s article which compares the sensor of the 500D/50D vs D5000/D90/D300s, they’ll learn:
(i) “Canon EOS 500D sensor is (nevertheless) an exceptional sensor with a very small pixel pitch and very low RAW noise”
(ii) “the Canon EOS 500D is a bit more color blind in comparison with the Nikon D5000. To compensate, a greater degree of color processing is applied, which increases (chroma) noise”
(iii) “Canon EOS 500D behaves the same way as many other Canon cameras… that is, the readout noise becomes predominant and… explains why the Canon EOS 500D’s dynamic range does not increase between ISO 200 and ISO 100 and obtains only 11.5 eV as its maximum dynamic range measurement”
(iv) Pixel size has NOTHING to do with the \'poor\' performance of the 50D/500D sensor
